New American Standard Bible
12 For our (A)wrongful acts have multiplied before You,
And our (B)sins have testified against us;
For our wrongful acts are with us,
And [a]we know our wrongdoings:
13 [b]Offending and (C)denying the Lord,
And turning away from our God,
Speaking (D)oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and (E)uttering lying words from the heart.
14 (F)Justice is turned back,
And (G)righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.
